Sadly, we are not surprised. When we starting looking at schools two years ago, Villanova was a great fit for her. But the acceptance rate has dropped about 20 percentage points due to increased popularity, and my daughter’s 1290 SAT was not close enough to their 1410 average SAT for nursing students.
No worries! She was already admitted to four other direct-admit nursing programs and we are awaiting answers from four more. She will be fine, and so will any other students who don’t get a yes tonight. Good luck to all!
ACCEPTED!
@vamom4 so sorry to hear that. quick question-- how did you go about sending first quarter grades?
From someone who applied EA, how do the ED scores/stats/acceptance rate compare to those of EA?
